hi everyone..
this is another furniture find that came to me a while ago. i couldn't believe my luck! i think it's a similar era to our place and a bit like the dining table my grandmother had. lovely solid oak, the kind of thing that should probably be left unpainted, but mostly white looks better in here and makes the place seem more spacious.
i forgot to take the before photo in my hurry to paint it. oops.
our last table now has a new home. another one i rescued and painted, it was always too big for this room.
i used zinsser primer and 2 coats of whisper white. if you haven't used it, the primer goes over any surface including the metal of the ikea chair i painted.
a multi purpose table, my breakfast & morning blogging place.
later this weekend we decided to do some distressing with the sander on the top. not sure if it will stay that way.
what do you think?

I love your table; I can't decide whether I prefer the distressed, or non-distressed look. I think distressed is probably a better choice, though.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out beautifully! Just brainstorming here - but what about a beach inspired oilcloth fabric for the top.
ReplyDeleteWhatever you decide - it looks like the perfect spot to blog! xoxo
Love the table. Keep the distressing. Trying to keep a whole table top perfectly white is too stressing!
